Dunedin - UNESCO City of Literature

We are proud to now be part of the Creative City Network, and we heartily congratulate the team of hard working volunteers who made that happen for Dunedin. UNESCO launched the Creative Cities Network to enable cities around the world to work together to advance, grow, prosper and promote their cultural assets to the world. There are 69 cities worldwide, under seven thematic schemes, one of which is literature. It is wonderful that Dunedin is now part of this network and has been named an official City of Literature.

This achievement raises our city’s profile on a global scale, brands the city and spotlights its cultural assets, fosters a sharing of knowledge, expertise and ideas for example encouraging literary exchanges. It creates international opportunity and connections and increases the creative economy.
